More Information

What is Medical Slimming?

Medical Slimming is a doctor-supervised weight management programme that combines prescription medication, hormonal assessment, and lifestyle guidance to help patients achieve sustainable fat loss and metabolic health.

Who is suitable for Medical Slimming?

This programme is suitable for men and women struggling with stubborn weight gain, hormonal imbalance, or slow metabolism despite diet and exercise. It’s also effective for patients on testosterone or hormone therapy who experience related fat retention.

How does the treatment work?

After a full consultation and blood analysis, your doctor designs a personalised plan using prescription medication (such as GLP-1 analogues or appetite suppressants), alongside nutritional and exercise recommendations. The goal is long-term fat loss and improved metabolic balance.

Do I need blood tests?

Yes. Blood tests help assess thyroid function, testosterone, glucose levels, and other metabolic markers. Understanding your hormonal profile ensures safe, effective weight management.

What medications are used?

Depending on your results, your doctor may prescribe GLP-1 receptor agonists, appetite suppressants, or fat metabolism enhancers. Only regulated, UK-approved medications are used.

Is this the same as cosmetic weight loss injections?

No. Medical Slimming is a comprehensive, doctor-led programme addressing the root causes of weight gain — not a short-term aesthetic solution. Each treatment is prescribed and monitored under medical supervision.

How soon will I see results?

Most patients notice steady, measurable results within 4–8 weeks. Weight loss continues progressively with consistent treatment and lifestyle adherence.

Are the results permanent?

Yes, with long-term commitment to diet, exercise, and medical follow-up. The programme helps reset metabolic balance, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight even after treatment.

Can I combine Medical Slimming with hormone or peptide therapy?

Yes. Many patients combine weight management with Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), peptide therapy, or growth hormone optimisation to enhance fat loss and preserve lean muscle.

Is the treatment confidential?

Absolutely. All consultations, blood results, and prescriptions are handled confidentially within a CQC-registered clinic.

Are there side effects?

Side effects depend on the prescribed medication but may include mild nausea or appetite changes. Your doctor will monitor you closely and adjust the plan if needed.
